Now let's talk about the most significant figures from this list - about those who are most often chosen as heavenly patronesses and who are most often remembered when thinking about what name to name a girl born in August.
Equal to the Apostles Mary Magdalene
Mary Magdalene is perhaps one of the most revered women in the entire Christian world. Girls born in August, whose names correspond to the name of this saint, have the opportunity to choose at least two more saints of the same name, remembered this month, as their patroness. However, most often it is Mary Magdalene who makes the final choice. History has preserved for us little information about her life. However, church tradition is full of legends about who this woman was and how she lived her life.
According to the most common opinion, she was born in the Galilean town of Magdala, near where her nickname comes from - Magdalene. During her life, before meeting Christ, she, according to church myths, was engaged in prostitution. However, this is a rather late characteristic, so it is not a fact that it corresponds to reality. In any case, it is believed that her life was full of sin until Christ cast out seven demons from her and forgave her sins. After this she was converted and sincerely, being devoted to her teacher, followed Christ wherever he went. She was with him during his execution, when the other apostles got scared and ran away. She was the first to go to the tomb on Sunday morning and the first to see the risen Jesus. It was she who he instructed to go with the Easter gospel to the apostles and inform them of his resurrection. According to the Bible, the apostles did not believe her words, for which they were later reproached.
There is no reliable information about what Maria did in subsequent years and how her life ended. If you believe the orthodox tradition, then she went around preaching Christian teaching throughout Italy and Rome, where she even preached the gospel to Emperor Tiberius. This episode also includes a miracle performed by her, as a result of which egg supernaturally colored in Therefore, it is she who is credited with establishing the custom of dyeing eggs for Easter. Mary moved to Ephesus, where she spent last years life, helping the apostle in his labors. It is believed that it was from her words that the twentieth chapter of his gospel was written. Unfortunately, this statement also cannot be verified historically.
Mary Magdalene, as already mentioned, is widely revered in Catholic and Orthodox world. Magnificent cathedrals are built in her honor, and her memory day is celebrated with magnificent celebrations in many countries around the world. Pieces of her relics are kept in various churches throughout Europe and in a number of other countries. It is not surprising, therefore, that she is the first thing that comes to mind when people wonder what name to give a girl born in August.
Martyr Christina
The figure of this martyr hides a very bright, colorful character in church myth-making, due to which she has always been especially revered and distinguished from the background of many other holy women. However, church legends and folklore penetrated so deeply into the biography of this woman that from real story there is hardly anything left of a person named Christina (Kristina). We don't even know her real name.
According to the life, Christina lived in the 3rd century and was the daughter of the ruler of Tire named Urban. Her father extremely wanted his daughter to become a priestess, for which purpose he instilled in her from childhood love and piety in the bosom of her father’s pagan faith. However, the girl gradually came to the idea that behind all the pagan gods there must be one, a single creator god, superior in power to all the others. One day, while thinking about this, an angel appeared to her and instructed her in the Christian faith. Having believed in Christ, Christina broke the images of everyone pagan gods, which angered her parents. Her father demanded that she renounce her new faith, but she refused. Later, as the life tells us, she was tortured: they burned her with fire, drowned her in the sea, but every time she miraculously came out healthy. In the end, her father died, and the girl herself was sent to prison, where she began to preach to those who visited her. Thus, she converted about three thousand people to Christianity. Finally, one of the rulers, tired of the torture and seeing her inflexibility in confessing Christianity, ordered her to be hacked to death with a sword, after which the saint died.
It is quite powerful in strength psychological impact a story, although it bears little resemblance to the truth. One way or another, those born in August are often given in honor of this particular martyr.
Venerable Martyr Paraskeva
This is another very revered saint. In honor of her, especially in the old days, many girls born in August were named. The names of many of them have been preserved by our history. The adverb Paraskeva itself comes from Greek word, meaning "Friday". According to life, this woman lived in the 2nd century and was distinguished by unprecedented miraculous power. Among other things, she did not cook when thrown into boiling resin, healed Emperor Anthony Pius from blindness, killed a dragon and much more. For preaching Christianity, she was beheaded by a ruler named Tarasius. Nowadays, names of girls born in August are rarely given in her honor. But once in Rus' she was extremely popular and loved.
Reverend Anfisa
Girls born in August can have their names in honor of at least thirty-five holy women. But the name Anfisa is one of the most beautiful among them. Although it is not very popular. During her lifetime, Saint Anfisa was a nun who headed one of the monasteries in Asia Minor in the 8th century. It is believed that she suffered from Emperor Constantine Copronymus, who forced her to convert to iconoclasm. However, for the fulfillment of the prediction about the emperor’s children, she was released back to her monastery, where she lived until a ripe old age.
Saint Nonna
Girls born in August take their names in honor of various saints. But the name Nonna is one of the rarest among them. During her life she was a righteous woman. And in church memory she was remembered as the mother of the great saint Gregory the Theologian. She died in the temple during prayer in 374, shortly after the death of her husband.
Saint Juliana
This saint is the patroness of those women who bear the secular name Julia. Martyr Juliana, along with her brother Paul, was tortured for professing Christianity in the 3rd century under Emperor Aurelian in the city of Ptolemais. She remained steadfast in her faith, for which she was ordered to be beheaded.

It was she who was prayed for safe birth, the baby’s health and asked that the mother have enough milk. Saints were selected for boys in the same way. After the birth of a newborn, she was given the name of the Reverend, who became her Guardian Angel.
Another tradition is the calendar. It was according to them that church names were chosen for girls born in August. If you look at their meanings, they seem to be filled with the bliss of farewell to summer, peace and tranquility. The names were chosen closer to the day when the newborn was born.

Despite their selfishness, Leos are very kind and noble. They are monogamous, caring for their family and protecting the family hearth from life’s adversities. In addition, they are very honest and decent.
A Leo who is not praised by others and not in the spotlight is not a Leo, and that is why representatives of this zodiac sign strive for self-respect and recognition by any means. They easily attract people and subjugate them.
Leos are wonderful leaders who easily see the potential of the team they manage and are able to maximize its capabilities, achieving success in the shortest possible time. Leos are generous and selfless, they are practically incapable of being disappointed in people, regardless of how they are treated, they quickly forget minor grievances because they do not consider them worth attention.
Since people born in August are very decent, they are not inclined to intrigue and deceive, so they do not expect similar behavior from others. It is because of this property that Leos are often deceived. However, even after serious disappointments, they are ready to lend a helping hand to anyone who needs it. They tend to do good deeds without expecting anything in return.
